NAYPYITAW (5 May 2016) – Veterans Than Than Htwe and San San Maw will drive the Myanmar Women’s Futsal Club team as they look to win their first title on home soil in July.
The city of Naypyitaw will be playing host to the AFF Futsal Club Championship on 10-16 July 2016.
Than Htwe and San Maw had recently retired from the regular 11-a-side game and where they will now be part of the Myanmar Women’s Futsal Club team alongside Thurza Htwe.
Other than the trio, the team will be fortified by young players from the Mandalay and Yangon branches of the state’s Institute for Sport and Physical Education – a school for potential sports stars until the age of 16.
The team under head coach Htay Mying plan to visit Thailand for a ten-day training session including four friendly games – commencing June 14.
“In Thailand, they have many Futsal clubs, but here in Myanmar our team can only train among themselves. Without opposition we cannot play warm-up matches here,” said Htay Myint.
